I’m sorry to hear the news of your beloved father/grandfather. Maybe his wonderful memories always surround you. Thinking of you at this very sad time.

Condolence from Jim Kaiser on August 12th, 2017 10:32 am

Chrissy and I are very sorry to hear about Emil’s passing. He not only was my dad’s best friend, but he was my mentor and taught me a lot about construction and how to do things right. I will miss him dearly, but know that my dad up in heaven is reunited with his best friend.

Millie, Steve and Lisa,
We are so sorry about your loss. We have fond memories of Emil and the entire Mendel family. When we saw him last year at my dad’s wake, we reminded him how he and Millie gave us a Ryobi drill which we still use at our going away party in 1998! It seems like God is calling home all the great bowlers in Brookfield.

You are in our thoughts at this difficult time.

Greg and Petra Schneider

Steve, what can I say? I’m sorry for your loss. Your dad was a great man. I always enjoyed his company at the kitchen table when I stopped by.

Our condolences to you and your family. We were fortunate to have many memories of times that we spent with the whole family. Emil was a wonderful man and a very special friend to my father Dominic.
